STS-128 launch was created by Frank Ryan
The STS-128 mission currently is set to launch on Aug 24 at 1:58 a.m. EDT
although this may change as NASA launch managers are meeting today.

We were treated to a spectacular fly by of the shuttle and external tank last time,
although at around 7:15am will we see them here?
The pass altitude is good but will they be bright enough?
Some people are now saying that the ISS is visible in daylight with the Sun low,
if this is true then we should see them.

Let's keep our fingers x'd as usual for good weather!
